"Is it climbing up your pyramid?" …ahem.
I did not get that ingredient between minced garlic and red pepper flakes. You don't have listing of ingredients. Thanks anyways.
No anchovies.
Everyone has their own recipe for pasta salad and I use my Italian grandma’s. We add cooked broccoli, cucs, sweet onion, and hard salami. It was a nice summer “side” but really could’ve been a meal !
this noodle salad with the pepperoncini is looking delicious.
Where to get Green peppers from do they come in a jar 🤔
Omg! Warming the dressing is genius
Looking forward to trying this pasta salad. I've been on a pasta salad kick lately and I want to find the perfect pasta salad. This might just be a winner!!!
Literally the best pasta salad I've ever made/eaten. Perfect.
I love ATK but SNL needs to do a skit on this. Or any other episode.
I love this recipe. It's our go-to potluck sharing dish, and it makes regular appearances on our home rotation.
Show the written below shadowed ingredients!
I am definitely making this ! My mouth is watering as I watch the video ! So yummy !
I loved the combinations in that pasta salad. Don't think the wife will appreciate the meshing of those flavors.
He is a HANDSOME man😍😍…pasta salad looks great also
10 min video on pasta salad?
looks good
Rinsing the pasta actually washed away all the 'velcro'! Never rise your pasta, especially if you want a sauce or dressing to adhere to it!
Velcro pasta and oil infusion. Wow!
geez, get a room already.
How can I download the recipe for macaroni Hawaiian salad,
It is great, but I am not providing all my credit card information just to get a recipe.
My family is all over me to make my pasta salad no matter what season or occasion and if by some miracle they have any leftovers they argue about who gets them because it’s not enough to split between them lol. I don’t add the same ingredients and I wouldn’t recommend rinsing pasta but hey you do you 😉
What? I love pasta salad so much especially the macaroni one. omg I eat so much of it when I find it at a picnic.
I will certainly try this. I usually start with the veggies cork screw pasta. Lol. Thanks for sharing love your channel
Yum
This pasta salad looks very good. I like how you made the dressing.
If the salame is pork it's a no no
I made this pasta dish for a side dish for book club. Although I really enjoyed it, it was expensive to make. I did like the idea that it used a lot of “pantry” ingredients. However, it is probably not a pasta salad that I would file in my permanent rotation of pasta salads. It makes perfect sense for sure to keep this for remote locations where you cannot use fresh ingredients. While I did use the basil and the arugula, you could do a basil paste and hopefully source the arugula, if you were, say, cooking from a camper, cottage, or while sailing the Caribbean. I did double this recipe and $$$$$. Bon appetit! Keep the recipes coming, as I love ATK recipes!!
Dried salami yummy 😋
Amazing recipe for dressing
I enjoy the seeds in pepperoni 😋
I can almost taste this incredible salad, thanks for sharing 👍
Absolutely wonderful salad. No changes other than adding little more of the some of the same ingredients.
We make a similar salad, but with cilantro, red bell pepper and feta instead of basil, sun-dried tomato and mozzarella. We also use red wine vinegar. Always tasty.
